It's about more than simply financial support obviously.

It's a bit like starting a movement called "child abuse is bad". Everyone agrees with that statement but if a group of people claiming to represent child abuse is bad set up "childabuseisbad.com" and then write a load of political beliefs that are nothing to do with child abuse being bad, you can see why there would be concern. Particularly if anyone expressing doubts about that is then accused of not thinking that child abuse is bad.

You haven't answered the question about their fundraisers or what appears to be their official website. The aims of blacklivesmatter.com are clear because they've written them on their website. I really oppose what they have said they stand for and I'd be worried that stated something obvious like blacklivesmatter would be misconstrued as a sign of support for what appears to be a political group called blacklivesmatter that I want nothing to do with.

Why are there fundraisers and what appears to be an official website (blacklivesmatter.com) with aims on it that are nothing to do with race? How can I be sure that by supporting "black lives matter" I am not inadvertently supporting this group called black lives matter that I disagree with very strongly? Its like certain feminist groups that say they simply advocate for equality between men and women and then you look into things and there's a whole raft of other things that have nothing to do with that.

What tangible things are being asked for? Serious question because I totally get the complaints with cops in America but what's the policies that are wanted in the UK?

My main issue with it is that for many people it's not just about a statement of black lives mattering. In what way should support be shown by people who absolutely oppose the additional political beliefs that the organisation stands for yet clearly supports the basic premise that black lives matter exactly the same amount as all lives.

Who said you couldn't? I'm fine with people taking the knee if that's what they want to do. It's obvious that many wouldn't be OK with a player deciding not to though.

Because the type of people who would oppose the poppy as a symbol of colonial oppression and white male patriarchy would also be the people behind the black lives matter organisation.

This.

Ah that will be why. I'll check it out on my laptop.

Bit of a wild guess!

You have to take your hat off to the people who came up with it- it really is a genius marketing slogan.

What's unfortunate is that its got to the point that no one is allowed to dissent. Imagine if you were a footballer who didn't think it was a good idea to have black lives matter on the back of your shorts or kneel before every game and you said any of that publically. You woupd be vilified and probably have your career ended. The mainstream accepted opinion is that the black lives matter organisation are loved and supported by all and you aren't allowed to have a different opinion if you're in the public eye.

That article misrepresents the comments that Raab actually made but regardless of that, I don't think anyone should be taking a knee.

Notification settings in chrome or the forum? I can't see an option for saintsweb on either tbf.

Also is there any way to turn on notifications in chrome? I no longer get push notifications to my phone if someone replies to me or if I have a PM unless I actually visit the site.

Just checked and you're correct: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/17/fourteen-year-old-boy-charged-with-plotting-terror-attack

Blimey. White supremacist or Islamic?

Seriously though. When I go to load my activity streams on my phone it takes an age to load for some reason.

Don't be a cock Steve.

Think someone posted this on here a while back...

If you're on chrome on an android phone it's one of the options.

The forum seems to be quite slow for me on occasion (not sure if it's just me.) Is it likely to just be teething problems from the migration do you think? Getting this on my laptop and phone:

Would be amazing to start with a win which would essentially ensure our survival then we can enjoy this weird little sideshow for what it is.

The style reminds me of saintsforever.
